At just 11 years old, Collier Landry faced an unimaginable tragedy—his father murdered his mother. Refusing to stay silent, he courageously testified against his father, ensuring justice was served. Abandoned by his family in the aftermath, Collier was forced to develop grit and self-reliance at a young age, laying the foundation for a life defined by resilience and forward momentum.
Now a filmmaker, podcaster, and speaker, Collier transforms his experience into powerful conversations on perseverance, self-determination, and healing. His acclaimed documentary A Murder in Mansfield (produced by Oscar-winner Barbara Kopple) captures his journey of confronting the past, while his podcast, The Collier Landry Show, explores overcoming adversity, mental health, and reclaiming one's power.
Collier’s story proves that while trauma may shape us, it does not have to define us. His insights on grit and resilience make him an inspiring public figure and sought-after media guest who challenges audiences to break free from their past and build a future on their own terms.
He resides in Santa Monica, CA.
